A small, delicate, hairless Peperomia known only from Belize, where it grows on rocks in wet tropical forest. It has small ovate leaves marked with black translucent dots and thin white flower spikes, and resembles a more fragile P. claytonioides. It suits a warm, humid terrarium, grown on damp rock or moss in soft light.
